Chris finally has his own custom wheelchair as of yesterday evening, after a long four months of wrangling with the hospital and their wheelchair vendor.
The insurance co-pay on this chair was $2,900. Donations to the fund right now total about $2,100 (whoa!), so that means y’all – friends, family and the huge group of folks coming in from the XL forum – bought this chair for Chris. Thank you.
For what it’s worth, it’s an Invacare Solara 3G tilt-in-space wheelchair. The mechanism on the headrest for holding Chris’s head up is a HUGE improvement over the wheelchair we were using on-loan from the hospital. Oh man, it’s a huge improvement.
Thanks again, y’all.
